The factor structure and psychometric properties of the Perceived Relationship Quality Component (PRQC) inventory in the Malaysian context

The Perceived Relationship Quality Component (PRQC) Inventory developed by Fletcher et al. (2000) was used to assess relationship quality. PRQC consists of 18 items to measure the degree of relationship quality among partners. The aims of this study were to determine the factor structure and psychom...

The general relationship quality factor was re-categorized into five sub-components. The label for the five sub-factors was derived from the original scale (i.e., intimacy, commitment, love, satisfaction, and trust).

The results revealed a high level of reliability for the total scale of PQRC and its components. The result of concurrent validity also supported that the PQRC was a valid measure of relationship quality, and its utilities in the Malaysian context is proven.
